Udacity

Udacity was born out of a Stanford University experiment in which Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig offered their "Introduction to Artificial Intelligence" course online to anyone, for free. Over 160,000 students in more than 190 countries enrolled and not much later, Udacity was born. Now we're a growing team of educators and engineers on a mission to change the future of education by bridging the gap between real-world skills, relevant education, and employment.

The mission of Udacity is to bring accessible, affordable, engaging, and highly effective higher education to the world. We believe that higher education is a basic human right, and they seek to empower our students to advance their education and careers.

Education is no longer a one-time event but a lifelong experience. Education should be less passive listening (no long lectures) and more active doing. Education should empower students to succeed not just in school but in life.

The team is building an online university, "by Silicon Valley", that:

. teaches the skills that industry employers need today.

. delivers credentials endorsed by employers

. educates at a fraction of the cost of traditional schools

With industry giants-Google, AT&T, Facebook, Salesforce, Cloudera, etc.-we offer Nanodegree programs and credentials, designed so professionals become Web Developers, Data Analysts, Mobile Developers, etc. Our students acquire real skills through a series of online courses and hands-on projects.
